Interests

On 6 May (and 7 May on Sky), HBO and Sky start a new drama of the Chernobyl disaster. Not sure how many episodes (edit- 5 parts), but it's billed as a miniseries. Stars Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgard and Emily Watson, playing a Kremlin scientist, government official and nuclear physicist respectively. Looks like a few other familiar British and Irish faces in the trailer too.

Sky are developing either TV movies or a series based on The Dark is Rising fantasy books. Likely late 2017 before we see it though. That would make it 10 years since a previous movie adaptation which didn't go at all well. Word is they think it would be good Christmas TV fodder.
